Analyzing space access and re-entry missions is complex, demanding a multidisciplinary approach to meet diverse requirements while adhering to strict constraints. Disciplinary synergies help minimize early challenges, optimizing outcomes. Each mission is unique, requiring precision from swift estimations to intensive simulations. The multi-fidelity and multi-disciplinary framework developed by the Atmospheric Flight Competence Centre is designed to tackle such challenges. This paper delves into its components and methodologies, testing, and latest Multidisciplinary Design Optimization developments, emphasizing the topics of aeroshape generation, trajectory optimisation, and aerodynamics. These tools are critical for the design of reusable re-entry vehicles, enabling safe and controlled descents within the mission constraints. Real-world case studies showcase the framework’s adaptability and effectiveness in addressing mission-specific challenges.
